Cognac Schweppes

Two songs today.


Let's start with Miles Davis and his Concierto De Aranjuez part of the Sketches Of Spain he composed between 1959 and 1960 with Gil Evans. A doux mélange of Miles' touch and classical spanish music. Eight minutes and twenty three seconds to introduce an ear to jazz sounding.
To be served on funerals as well as during a post-drunk-state farniente around the swimming pool.

The album earned Miles and Gil Evans several Grammy nominations in 1960 for Best Jazz Performance, Large Group, and Best Jazz Composition, 'More Than 5 minutes' ; they won in the latter category, so I think you can trust them (the so-called jury) and spend a little time and money to try jazz music



If you think you're not in a mood for Miles, then you might be in a mood for Eddie Constantine.
This Russian-American singer from LA but singing in french was also an actor (french thrillers mostly), he wrote a book too (amazing, isn't it ?).

Often considered as Edith Piaf's protégé, he became a nightclub singer in Paris, and performed almost till his death in 1993.
My dear doorbreaker friend Régis gave me this track as the Holy Trinity ; last week-end however, we discovered that cognac tonic was better than Ol' Jack Da' under the sun. One should ask Eddie...
